Fits US Women's shoe size 7-12 (men's 5-10). They range from 17"-19" from heel to cuff, depending on the color, and the stretch is about 20 inches around... folks with larger feet and calves should have no problem fitting these! Smaller feet may find them to be too loose, but a wash in hot water should shrink them up a bit. Ankles stretch to about 14 inches.

Additional Info: This is a wonderfully versatile sock at a great price, and you may be tempted to buy lots of colors at once, but please bear in mind that they are knee-high before you order several dozen! We don't want you to be disappointed.
We hear these are GREAT for DDR!

Great socks! Super comfy and stay up (and down)!Let me start by saying that these socks are super awesome! They're soft--not like, puppy soft; but they're nice to touch--though they're not suuuper thick, so some leg color does show through. (I'm not complaining, though, since I live in Florida so I have no need for super thick and warm socks) My desk is in front of a window and these keep my legs warm when the cold air comes in!
The only complaint that I have with these is that I'm a women's size 8 and the feet are quite loose on me. When I put shoes on with these, they get a bit scrunched in my shoes, but it's not too much of an issue. I know size/quality varies with different colors, though!
All in all, though, I am very happy with these. Keep in mind that I have yet to wash these (I want to do it in the machine, but it states to wash with cold/cool water and my family likes to wash with super hot water, so I've gotta convince them to wash all of my awesome Sock Dreams socks in cold water!) so I'm sure that they'll fit better/feel better when I do!
I'm not really critical on socks, as I'm not expecting top quality for the price that I pay here (though let's be honest, Sock Dreams quality is GREAT; waaay better than what you get at any other store) but I'm still super happy with these! I was looking for a nice pair of knee-highs, as well as scrunchable socks (I have the longer scrunchable ones, but I don't need that much scrunch!) and these definitely do the job!

So comfy!!I ordered these January 31st and had them by February 2nd! I loved the handwritten notes on the order form. I ordered the natural which is sort of oatmeal as seen in the photo and the kelly green which is true to color as well. I'm wearing the naturals now. I have pretty big calves but still managed to get them up to just at the bottom of my knee cap - although the rib lines became warped but it's due to my calves not the make of the OSFA product that still manages to actually fit my calves xD all in all I'm very satisfied and can't wait for the boots I ordered these for to get here! :D I'm gonna be ordering more very soon! I want a pair in every color ^__^

My new favorite knee high sock!!!I purchased these on a whim last week in pink and seafoam and I am so glad that I did! They are just the right combo of lighter weight but sturdy. The colors are gorgeous (the pink I got is a bit coral-y which I was so hoping for). Best of all the fit my size 9s and my chunky calves without being all floppy-woppy, loosey-goosey around my super high arches and narrow heels and ankles and they stay exactly where I put them for the day. They stay right up to my knee for a whole day of schlepping about without even thinking of slouching (until I put them there, and then they do that job wonderfully as well)! Absolutely cannot beat this sock, especially at such a spectacular price!!!

Got for a costume, but love enough for everyday!I bought the cotton slouch socks to wear as knee-high socks for my Velma costume. They are so comfortable, don't pinch or roll, and the color is really rich and beautiful. I was honestly worried that these would look silly stretch across my chubby calves, but that is not the case. They are well-constructed and are clearly made for wide calves, and they fit beautifully. I like how they are sturdy enough to be warm under boots in the winter, but they aren't so heavy that I can't wear them earlier in the year. I am incredibly impressed by these socks, as well as the rest of the Plus Size hosiery selection.

Awesome SocksI ordered 3 pairs of the cotton slouch socks and got them 2 days after placing my order. I love these socks. So many different colors to choose from and super comfortable. They fit just right and are also very warm, but breathable. I love these socks and plan on purchasing more!

Love at first sight!I ordered these just a few days ago and got them so quickly! I'm positively in love and just purchased two more socks (the Super Ms and the Long Cuffable Scrunchable Socks!) I'm 4'11" and a tad on the pudgy side at 115-120 pounds and these fit like a dream; the perfect length for me! They're extremely warm and cozy. My only complaint is how loose it is around my toes, but I do have small feet, with my shoe size ranging anywhere from 5 1/2 to 7 depending on the brand and style.

Comfy and warmI've ordered several of these socks, this last batch I purchased 14 pairs.
If you have purchased these socks before, you might notice that these socks feel different. I think they have less of a cotton content than when I got them before ... they are more stretchy. They also seem to be a little longer, I can pull them up to just over my knee cap.
My old versions have held up pretty well though the elastic has gone on a few pairs. I will be interested to see how long these hold up.
I do love these socks, these are the only ones I wear, hence the quantity purchased. They are good in the summer, I just scrunch them down, and excellent in the winter. They keep my feet and calves pretty warm.

Color, function, price, fit--all greatI was forced online to buy socks due the absence of solid cool-colored knee-high socks (beyond basic black, white, brown) and the outrageous prices for socks in the department stores. I wanted a lasting sock that would look good scrunched down with leggings and that would stay up under jeans. Wanted socks that were warm but not too thick and with comfortable stitching at the toes. These socks fit the bill. i love the colors and while they do seem a tad thick in the stitching at the toe, it doesn't seem to cause a problem. Not sure how they will fare over time, but at the onset I am very happy.

If these are comparable to the Original Boot Sock, do they wear through as badly at the sole like those did? I love the length, but not how fast they wore through.

Asked by: dualityduel

I'm not sure I would say they're really comparable to the Original Boot Socks - they're more like E. G. Smith's more recent style, the Ribbed Boot Socks. These have elastic and will stay up if you want them to, unlike the originals, which are 99% cotton and basically force you to wear them slouchy. The difference in fiber content should also make a difference in how the feet wear - cotton is a very inelastic, soft fiber, so it can wear through very quickly. The added synthetic fibers in these should actually help the feet to hold up a little better!

Are these thick enough to wear over jeans? I mean, will they be super thin or too tight? And if so--what socks do you suggest to wear over jeans/under boots?

Asked by: Hollie

In terms of thickness, these would work nicely for that style, but their ability to fit over jeans will depend on the legs wearing them. Take a look at our sizing tips, then add an extra inch to your calf measurement to account for your jeans, and that should tell you if they'll work! We also have a Sock Journal all about socks that work well for this style! http://blog.sockdreams.com/2011/11/04/socks-for-over-jeans-under-boots/

Why aren't the slouch socks available in white? I've bought all of the colors that work for me but I need white (the $6 socks).

Asked by: marly

The white variety is on order and should arrive within the week. If you'd like to be notified when stock is available for purchase, just sign up for email notification on the product page, after selecting the white variety. That way, you'll know the same day we do!

I wear a mans 8 1/2 shoe... I play tennis in these ...is that going to work ?

Asked by: james

Your feet are definitely within the sizing range, and I believe these would be comfortable to play tennis in (they should stay up for it too!). I will mention though that these are a cotton fashion sock and as such they might not be quite as durable as socks designed for athletics!

Hi, I am looking at the grey slouch socks. There appears to be two colors of grey, a darker one and a lighter one. How can I specify the lighter ones when I order? Thanks

Asked by: Barbarann

The dark grey is called "charcoal" while the lighter shade is called "grey". Just select the one you'd like from the color drop down menu!

Hi, I have small feet (size 5) and was wondering if these would shrink enough in a hot wash to fit me. I don't mind if they are a bit loose but from the reviews they sound like they would be too big in the foot for me. My calves are 14 inches.

Asked by: Christy

Since I see that you're writing in from Australia, let me first clarify that if you're referring to an Australian women's shoe size 5 (equivalent to a women's US shoe size 6.5) then you shouldn't have too much trouble. One of our resident size 6 (US) ladies tells me that he slouches are just a little bit loose on her feet, but have only been washed and dried on cool settings. To get down to US size 5 is just a little bit trickier -- you'll need to put them through a warm or hot wash and dry on a warmer setting, but you should be able to shrink them significantly in that manner.
To be clear, we do not recommend regularly using heat on your socks (or any garment that you want to preserve) as it will wear out the fibers much faster than cold water, but doing so once or twice to resize them in the beginning shouldn't hurt!

Is the gold color close to a mustard yellow?

Asked by: AshB421

That's a tough one! "Mustard" is a bit of a tricky word, because there are a couple of different accepted shades of "mustard yellow".
The Sock Journal post about yellow (http://blog.sockdreams.com/2014/06/13/colours-yellow/) shows the Gold Cotton Slouches next to a couple other yellows—though yellows are tricky to colour-balance and the second half of the post is where I think they're more accurate, like in this image (http://blog.sockdreams.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/08_goldDS.jpg).
There's definitely a touch of creamsicle orange to enrich the deep yellow of the Cotton Slouches in Gold. It's not as intense as the Dreamer Acrylic Slouches in Marigold (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/acrylic-slouch-socks:12934) and not as earthy as the Harajuku Leg Warmers in Mustard (http://www.sockdreams.com/products/harajuku-leg-warmers:11604).

I just want to let you know how pleased I am with your company! You guys rock! And boy are you FAST! WOW! I placed my very first order with you on Friday the 25th and had my socks in my hand by Monday the 28th! UNREAL! Thanks! And the socks are great!~ Jenna P.
